Olivia Dexter

Certified Baby Sleep Consultant – Auckland

I have been passionate about working with young people my whole life, and spent ten years teaching children with learning and behavioural difficulties, before taking time out to have my own. Additionally, I have worked in Early Childhood Education as a home educator. I have a Bachelor of Science and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education with the focus on Positive Psychology.

None of this, however, prepared me for my first baby. At eight weeks he refused to nap during the day, with frequent wake ups at night. I asked the Baby Sleep Consultant for help. Whilst working with her I was relieved to discover that I didn’t have to let Conan cry himself to sleep. I found the strategies she used worked perfectly well with my own parenting philosophies that resulted in a baby who was happy when awake, and slept well for both his naps and nights.

After working closely with the Baby Sleep Consultant, my appetite had been awakened to discover more about the science and psychology behind baby and toddler sleep. As I trained to become a baby sleep consultant myself, I was able to link much of the material I learned to my knowledge about Positive Psychology and my mindfulness practices. It will be my job to impart this knowledge to you in your training.

Emma Gowans

Certified Baby Sleep Consultant – Wellington

As a fellow Mum of two young children, I understand what it was like to be exhausted and sleep deprived. Olivia was a dream baby, who self-settled and slept through from a very early age… Then Ben arrived. He tested us, he very nearly broke us, but the silver lining was that I was determined to understand why our children were so different in their sleep habits, when raised under the same roof and same parenting philosophy.

After using the services of Baby Sleep Consultant, I was hooked. I loved having tangible answers to questions, worries and issues that I had spent hours researching. Everything was supportive, nurturing and above all successful!

My goal, as a Baby Sleep Consultant, is to guide parents, listen to them and support them. No matter what their parenting philosophy may be – they can and should teach their child to be a healthy sleeper so they can focus on being the best parent they can be and enjoy the precious child they have.

Amy McColl

Certified Baby Sleep Consultant – Auckland

My journey into sleep consultancy comes from my passion for working with children and families. I have worked with children and young people for many years in the education sector, community organisations as well as in my own home.

Since becoming a Mum myself to Zoe and Asher, I wanted to focus in on helping people in the one area that really affects our everyday lives, the thing that can really make or break us as parents, but that is so undervalued and sometimes a mystery to us. That is sleep. I know what it’s like to dream of becoming a parent, then when it ﬁnally happens, to struggle to enjoy the experience like you thought you would due to lack of sleep! Surely this isn’t the end of the story?! There must be a happy ending right?

I believe as a sleep consultant, it is my job to bring hope into parents situation and make them feel empowered and proud to teach their child to sleep in a way that’s right for them.

Lyz Henderson

Certified Baby Sleep Consultant – Hawkes Bay

My interest in how babies sleep began not long after the birth of my little girl, who suffered from projectile reﬂux and recurrent ear infections, which greatly affected her sleep.

This led to me reading numerous books on how to get your baby to sleep and consulting with many “sleep experts” who were mainly based in America and who never took into account my little girls medical history. It was at this point that I stumbled across “Baby Sleep Consultant” who really understood the science of sleep, listened and developed a plan that took into account the recurrent ear infections, my own parenting philosophies, and looked at the bigger picture.

I believe that all babies and families are different and bring with them their own parenting styles and unique circumstances. For this reason there is no “one size ﬁts all” approach to developing healthy sleep habits in babies.

Training with BSC has actually changed my life. Not only did my training and subsequent work in this area ignite a newfound passion but I am actively helping babies, children and families at a critical time in their lives, there couldn’t be a more rewarding feeling.

Sarah Atunovic

The training I received from BSC was fantastic – I was able to study at my own pace whilst being supported by both my own training group and more experienced consultants. The job itself is amazing – it is such a wonderful feeling to be able to work with a family and literally turn their lives around from a sleep deprived hell to being able to function as a family once more. It has also helped us immensely with our little one’s sleep, my husband and I often shudder to think how different our parenting journey could have been.

Anna Pera

I have found the training that I received through BSC was extremely thorough and the follow up support has been invaluable in filling in any gaps in the knowledge I have gathered. The reading list we were provided with and the comprehensive lecture program has equipped me to be able to handle many different parenting styles with confidence and integrity. I am now working with mums knowing that I am able to give them sound scientifically backed advice to help them and their most precious babies to get the better night sleep that they need.

Olivia Marie Dexter

The opportunity to become a sleep consultant and work for BSC came at the perfect time for me. The fact that I could train at my own pace was ideal with my family commitments and the support i received throughout the entire training process was fantastic. The fact that we studied and practice the entire range of settling techniques is one thing that I think sets this training apart and makes us specialists in this field. When I finished the course I felt confident in the knowledge I had learned and the ongoing coaching and mentioning is invaluable. The satisfaction in knowing that I can help families achieve the gift of sleep is truly the most rewarding part.

Nish Boord-Ashelford

The training I received was thorough, but also flexible so I could work it around my families needs. The support and mentoring during training was outstanding, and continues to be now that I am working too. It equipped me with everything I need to be able to do my job well, and that’s exactly what our clients deserve, the very best from us. It’s a privilege to be working with families, and it’s awesome to be a part of extremely rewarding results for them too!

Amy McColl

After completing another training course to become a Child Sleep Consultant I found that I didn’t have the confidence or support to help me continue. As I was searching the net to find out if there was anything out there for Sleep consultants I stumbled across Baby Sleep Consultant. I then completed their training and I have found that I have gained so much more information in regards to the science behind baby’s sleep as well as the confidence to continue as a Consultant with them and help so many families with their little one’s sleep issues. I love the fact that there is a massive support network and so many people to turn to when I have questions I don’t know the answer to or to bounce ideas off. It has also given me the flexibility to work around my family.

Shannon Andrews

Baby Sleep Consultant let me follow my passion of working with children and ensuring that their sleep was nurtured as much as the rest of their world. By studying with BSC I have expanded my knowledge and have a greater understanding of the importance of sleep for babies. This job gives me flexibility, drive, motivation and the passion to make a difference… LOVE MY JOB.

De-Arn Taylor

I found that Baby Sleep Consultant provided a really supportive training environment where questions were welcomed. Their in depth training has set me up for a rewarding career that fits around my family and allows me to provide vital support to families who are struggling. I would highly recommend this training!

Samantha Krukerink

I am so glad to have trained with Baby Sleep Consultant, it has given me a rewarding new career path and I love the fact that I am helping make a difference in families lives every day.

Michelle Patterson

After having great success with my own daughters sleep habits, it sparked an interest in me wanting to learn more about sleep as i would see others struggling everywhere… I trained with Baby sleep consultant, and i love that i can now help other Mums and Dads understand the importance of sleep, as it has such a huge impact on our everyday lives and well being.

Andrea Bromley

After successfully putting Baby Sleep Consultant’s suggestions in to action when I was myself struggling with sleepless nights and days I developed a curiosity about the science behind sleep and why sometimes babies need assistance to develop this important skill. The training I received through Baby Sleep Consultant was holisitc, comprehensive and thorough and now I am loving sharing my knowledge with parents to help them and their children achieve the rest they all need to live life to the full.

Isaia-Kelly Piho

After hitting a rough patch of sleep when my daughter was about 8 months old, I was frantically asking “Aunty Google” for advice, and stumbled across Baby Sleep Consultant’s blog page. I found a tip there that got us back on track, and when an opportunity to train with Baby Sleep Consultant came up, I jumped at the chance! I love being able to help families get things on track with their little ones’ sleep. From newborns to toddlers, Baby Sleep Consultant’s approach is very practical and science based. It is so rewarding being able to give families tried and tested advice, and to see first hand how much their new found sleep changes their lives. Training through BSC is very practical, I can’t recommend it enough!
